I've never thought of it in that manner.

Geeze, I'd be walking with seventy pounds on me.

Well, first time under 20:00. I got a 19:44 on Saturday.

My goal for the end of last year was to run under 20 min by the end of the year. I was kind of dissapointed it didn't happen, but only running 3 times in the last 3 months didn't help either. Weird thing is for this run, I was going to go out and so a long slow distance and run around 5 miles (that is long for me). So I start off and stick to the road and was feeling pretty good. I checked my time and speed at around the 2 mile mark and it said I was running a under a 6:30 pace, I couldn't believe it so I said what hte hell, guess I will try adn keep it going for one more. After I finished the 5 k I took it easy getting home, right around a 7:05 pace for the last 2 miles. now I jsut need to learn to go out slower when I actually intend on doing so.

I've been very mindful of my shins and knees. I started having shin splints the first couple of weeks but learned to massage them out as well as taking some ibuprofen and I haven't had any pain sense. I mean, i logged 42 miles last week and no pain throughout the week.

and thanks for the encouragement. I can't think of missing a day anymore. Had you told me last year I would be (able to run) running this much I would have passed out due to laughter.

I started running around this time last year and spent just under 4 months injured off and on. Your heart and lungs are ready to be pushed long before your legs can handle it. I've learned the hard way that I'm not 21 anymore and have had to cut back on the mileage many times. That said, I feel good and am enjoying the sport immensely. My prediction for fuegote is that in Jan. of next year you'll weight about 190 pounds or less.

Wow piney, that must be a cool feeling. 7:05 was my pace for my fastest 5k last year. I look forward to the day when that feels like I'm taking it easy.

that's my goal. If I could get down to 190, I think I would cry.

So I have only been running for a month and I've lost 13 pounds so far. Today I actually timed a 5K and I did it in 29:36. That wore me out. I have no clue how you do a 5K under 20 minutes. That is beyond my thinking.

I've never run 5k in my life. I can't imagine running that far.
